You Look Great.. For Your Age

Don’t you just love it when people say, ‘you look great’…. and then add … ‘for your age’.

Today I am turning 56. Yes, 56! Happy Birthday to Me!

Just because I’m 56 years old & a grandmother of six am I supposed to look a certain way? Does being 56 mean I should be weak, frail, overweight, saggy, wrinkly???

Absolutely not!

Age is more than just a number. It’s how you feel in your body. It’s how you let your mindset affect your self-esteem. It’s how you choose to live your life, and how your daily habits feed your mind, body, and soul. It’s a choice.

A number does not define you. Age is more than a number.

I may never look 30 again, but today, I can lift heavy things without injury, I can do yardwork for hours & not be in pain the next day, I can climb a ladder without fear of falling, I can walk briskly around the block without feeling winded. 

I can do all these things because I choose to eat well, stay fit, & feed my mind with healthy habits. I choose this for me, for my spouse, & for my family.

So, cheers to 56! And Happy Birthday to Me!

And next time can we just leave it at… ‘you look great’?!
